Emma Mackey movies

Growing up, she did dance shows with her brothers all around the house. The actress confessed:
I still do it now. I still have my mad hour at home, and I just perform for my parents. It was very much like that at home [growing up]. At school I was very serious and very studious and had my friends I would mess around with and have fun with, but I was very, very goody two shoes at school. So it was like playing out two versions of myself.
She made her theatrical debut at the university. She appeared in productions of The Workshop Theater.
In 2014, she appeared in the play Table, where she performed alongside ten other students.
In March 2016, she made her appearance in the British horror film Badger Lane. The film won the Best Film Drama award at the National Student Television Association Awards.

In an interview with U.K. Independent, she commented on her comparison with Margot:
I genuinely just don’t see it at all. But it’s fine. I wish people would stop comparing. Like, it’s lovely to be compared to Margot Robbie, but mostly I’d rather people focus on the jobs that we’re both doing rather than what we look like. Hollywood churns out people who look the same and we love to put people in boxes. It’s just a thing that we do as a species, we categorize people, we always have.
